Welcome back, Welcome back, And joining 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 2: me tonight is mister Franklin Delano Baseball, Frankie Baseball himself. 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 2: I was just telling you that's my favorite nickname for you. 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: Now I think I think it's very apropos How you doing, 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: my friend. 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 3: Well, I think I'm gonna start signing that one. When 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: people ask for my autograph, I think I'm gonnaign it 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 3: askin throwing our baseball, because I got plenty of autographs 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: every every week. 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: So you know, I was gonna say, like, we do 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 2: have a mental health problem in this country, and if 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: people are asking for our autographs for any reason other 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: than to steal our signatures so that they can fraudulently 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: take our bank accounts, I think that they're suffering from 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: mental health issues that need intervention, uh, in the worst way. 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: So in this episode, mister Baseball, we're gonna talk about 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: the non tender deadline, the Yankees non tendered, a couple 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: of names that we are famili you're with. We're gonna 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: talk about the Trent Grisham ripple effects. Also, we're gonna 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: talk a little bit about Devin Williams. Obviously the news 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: that there's a potential reunion brewing. We could talk about 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman's comments on the Japanese market, and we'll take 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: some audience voicemails. So, Frankie, what do you say we 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: get started with the non tender deadline? How does that sound? 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 3: Sounds good? Let's do it. 27 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 2: Okay, So the Yankees did make a couple of moves. 28 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: So they did re sign Clark Schmidt, which I find 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: interesting because he's not gonna pitch until at least August, 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 2: maybe September, and I'd be doubtful if he's one hundred 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: percent at all. Maybe by the postseason. I mean, we 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: saw Shane Bieber play a role after having Tommy John surgery. 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: He came back this year and pitched in the postseason 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: in a big way for the Toronto Blue Jays. Maybe, 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: see Clark Schmidt is that guy next year for the Yankees. 36 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: Four and a half million is reasonable if he ends 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: up having an impact. I think it's a reasonable gamble 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: to take, and it prevents him from being a free 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: agent and then you know, signing with the Rays or 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 2: signing with the Red Sox or signing with the Dodgers 41 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: and becoming a stud order of the Blue Jays and 42 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: coming back to Bidas in the playoffs. What are your 43 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: thoughts on signing Schmid? And obviously Cabrera is a no brainer. 44 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: He's very valuable to the team, not only in his 45 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: versatility but his personality. Even though he's coming back from 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: an injury, I think that he will. 47 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 4: Play a role. 48 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on all of these moves? And 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: we should also mention who did not get contracts Michael Arius, 50 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: Jake Cousin, Scott f Ross, Ian Hamilton, and goodbye Mark 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: Leider Junior. 52 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, yes, Cabrera, no brainer. It's gonna 53 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: be good to have him back. Schmidt. As you mentioned, 54 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: it's questionable because he's only gonna be here for you know, 55 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: a few months of the season right at the end. 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: But look, you know we've seen good things out of him. 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: I have no problem with. And it's four and a 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: half million, it's not much. I didn't want to talk 59 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: about the guys who we decided to let go Noble 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: prizes here, but I'm so glad the Mark letter Junior 61 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: experiment is over. Like that guy gave up more home 62 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: runs than like Clay Holmes and Devin Williams combined. What 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: a disaster he was goodbye. I don't know if Scott 64 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: FROs ever played for the team, like, but you know 65 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: he's gone. God and Jake Cousins he looked promising for 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: a while but wasn't able to stay healthy. The Hamilton's gone. 67 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: He just wasn't lost it last year in Narius whatever. 68 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: So yeah, no surprises with the guys that we lost. 69 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am not gonna miss Mark Lighter Junior and Hamilton. 70 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: He was one of those guys who was kind of 71 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: like lightning in a bottle for a minute. He was 72 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: really really good, but then last year just not the 73 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: same pitcher William Kannahey says Corey Seeger any shot with 74 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: the super chat. I don't know if the Yankees are 75 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: gonna want to take on that money. I you know, 76 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: we can talk a little bit more about roster construction 77 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: in a few minutes, but I don't think that that's 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: gonna happen. Although it is clear that the Rangers are considering, 79 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: you know, well breaking it down. Let's take a look 80 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: at some of the guys they non tendered. So Adulus 81 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: Garcia is no longer with the Texas Rangers World Series here. 82 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: I mean, this guy was an absolute stud couple of 83 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: years ago. I remember we recovering Foul Territory during that 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: World Series together, and he was going off during that 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: whole postseason Alec Manoa. That one surprised me because you know, 86 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: the Jay's are coming off of the World Series appearance. Obviously, 87 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: they went seven games, they played as many home postseason 88 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: games as they could have possibly played, They made a 89 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: ton of money, and pitching was a little bit thin 90 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: for them there towards the end. Obviously, Minoa's had some 91 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: weight issues, he's had some performance issues, he's had some surgeries. 92 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: I thought they would bring him back. I'm surprised. Is 93 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 2: he somebody you would maybe take a flyer on, like, 94 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: you know, maybe a minor league deal if he wanted 95 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: to take it, and you know, with a shot to 96 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: if he makes the roster out of spring training because 97 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: the Yankees are gonna be light on pitching in the 98 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 2: beginning of the scene. 99 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you could think about it, but I 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 3: also remember all the bad things he said about the 101 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: Yankees years ago, and the last guy that we signed 102 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 3: who said bad things about the Yankees, and we forgave 103 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: him was Marcus Stroman, So I think I'm okay, no, 104 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: we can we can leave him there in free agency. 105 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: Nathaniel Lowe first baseman that I wanted last year. We 106 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: passed on him. He ended up playing pretty well, you know, 107 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: for part of the season, got traded to the Red Sox. 108 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: Jonah him Catcher. Don't really see much of a need 109 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 2: for him there, But that's where we're at right now. 110 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: In terms of the non tender deadline, I want to 111 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: talk about Trent Grisham here. I didn't get your opinion 112 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: specifically on this, so I think the word round the 113 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: campfire is that most Yankees fans feel this was a 114 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: strategic mistake to offer him twenty two million dollars the 115 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 2: qualifying offer. By accepting that qualifying offer, it puts you 116 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: in a tough position where you're basically facing a few 117 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: different scenarios. Number one, you sign Cody Bellinger or Kyle 118 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: Tucker and your outfield is full, and then you block 119 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: Jason Domingez and Spencer Jones and you got to trade 120 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: one or the other or use one of them as 121 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: a fourth outfielder and basically stunt their development. Option Number 122 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: two is you don't sign Bellinger, you don't sign Kyle Tucker, 123 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: and you go with one of the kids in left field, 124 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: whether it's Jason Domingez or Spencer Jones, And to be honest, 125 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: they're both pretty much only useful as a hitter against 126 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: right handed pitching, you know which. We can talk more 127 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: about a solution for that in a minute. But I 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: think that this was kind of a mistake. I think 129 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: it puts the Yankees in a tough, tough scenario. I 130 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: think you could have not given him the qualifying offer 131 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: and he would have still been there if grisha I mean, 132 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: if Bellinger and Tucker came off the board. What are 133 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: your thoughts on uh? Trent Grisham. 134 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 3: First of all, I will say this, looking at your 135 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 3: comment section yesterday or whenever this was a few days ago, 136 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: looking at Yankee Twitter, people are mad about this steals 137 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: as you mentioned, I think they're just mad at the 138 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: whole organization right now because we all have this fear 139 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: that they're just gonna run it back next year and 140 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: expect something different, and Yankee fans do not want that. 141 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: We want a big move and this feels like, as 142 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: you mentioned, this feels like we block something like we 143 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: had a chance to maybe get Kyle Tucker have some 144 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: new life in here, and you know, now we just 145 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: lost that. We may have just lost out on Bellinger, 146 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: so we can get Grisham, a guy who will great 147 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: for us. Last year, I mean kind of had an 148 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: outlier year like this is not something that we normally 149 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: expect from him, and you know, he had a terrible postseason, 150 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: So it feels like the bloom came off the rose there. 151 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: To be honest, I wasn't mad about getting Grisham back, 152 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: but I will say he now has so much pressure 153 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: on him next year. I know Valpium has probably got 154 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: more pressure on him because He'svulpi. But if Grisham has 155 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: a bad year next year, if he's the guy that 156 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: we saw in the Postsankie fans are gonna take it 157 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: out on him and just say, look, we were the 158 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: guy we could have gotten. You know, we could have 159 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: we kept Ballenger. We again, we don't know what's gonna 160 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: happen boud It. We could have gotten Tucker and said 161 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: we keep this guy who just was awful. So he's 162 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: gonna have a lot of pressure on him next year 163 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: if he's able to replicate what he does. When he 164 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: was able to replicate in twenty twenty five and do 165 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: that in twenty six, then it's not bad. But I 166 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: think all of us just have fear that's not gonna happen. 167 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't have done it. I would have tried 168 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: to go off there and you know, try to get 169 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: Tucker and keep Balinger, but you know, and yeah, I 170 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: want to see what these young kids have and you're 171 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: just worry more and more about the Mangez is gonna 172 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: be able to bloss him here with the Yankees and 173 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: Spencer Jones. So I wouldn't have done it. But look, 174 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: I will say, if we run back the same outfield 175 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 3: from last year, it's not the worst thing in the world. 176 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: Like if it's if it's that three Bellinger, Christiram and Judge, 177 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: it's not the worst thing. But unfortunately, we don't know 178 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: if Belgian's gona be back, and we don't know if 179 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: Grisham's gonna be the same guy. So a lot of 180 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 3: questions here. I wouldn't have done it. But Yankees are the Yankees, 181 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: and they're gonna do what they do, which is another fence. 182 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, as we take a look at the minor league 183 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: numbers for Spencer Jones, who had thirty five home runs. 184 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: Chason is in the majors just twenty two years old 185 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: to fifty seven with ten home runs, struggled against left 186 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: handed pitching. I do want to give some positives on 187 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: Trent Grisham because I think that there are some positives 188 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: that we could note. Now. His thirty four home runs 189 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: surprised everybody, but his underlying data is pretty good. He 190 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: had elite plate discipline discipline seventeen point three percent, chase 191 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 2: rate that's in the ninety nine percent file, fourteen point 192 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: one percent walk rate, ninety six percentile. His barrel rate 193 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: was almost identical to Ben Rice and right behind, you know, 194 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge. I mean, this is a guy who hit 195 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: the ball pretty square, and he wasn't trying to hit 196 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 2: doubles or line drives. He just decided, I'm going to 197 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 2: elevate the ball and hit it in the air, which 198 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: is weird because he performed better, hit more home runs 199 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: on the road. So maybe they think his ceiling is 200 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 2: even higher, you know, next year, so we'll see. So 201 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: he might actually be entering his peak. But I think 202 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: defense the metrics might be wrong on him because he's 203 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: always been great as a center field. Their last year 204 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: huge step back, but we know he was playing with 205 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: a sore hamstring, so maybe they're thinking there's even more 206 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: value there than he showed this year. But you know, 207 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: it's hard. It's hard to say that Dominguez or Jones 208 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: isn't going to get a shot, right, and if you 209 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: sign Bellinger or Tucker, that's what's gonna happen. And I mean, 210 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: looking at the numbers that both of these guys put up, 211 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: I'm going to put both of them on the screen here. 212 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 2: You know, Bellinger twenty nine home runs one twenty five 213 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: oh ps plus five point one baseball reference war. Kyle 214 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: Tucker twenty eight years old, four point six war strikes 215 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: out less than he walks over the last couple of years, 216 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: twenty five stolen bases. Neither one of them would be 217 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: a bad fit for the Yankees next year, but you know, hey, 218 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: it is what it is. They are getting a little 219 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: bit too left handed. Maybe they're thinking, you know, about 220 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: a potential platoon. So I wanted to throw this at you. 221 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: Miguel and Dohar. Miguel and Douhar raked against lefties last 222 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: year in ninety three plate appearances, he had a one 223 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: to seventy one weighted runs creative plus nine eighty six ops. 224 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: He hit three eighty nine with four home runs overall 225 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty one at bats last year three 226 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: eighteen average ten home runs. So maybe Miggie is starting 227 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: to get kind of his groove back. I'll tell you what, though, 228 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: if I'm the Reds, I'm keeping him. He looks he 229 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: looks like a He looks like a stud in that 230 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 2: red uniform. I gotta say he's he's he looks good 231 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: in red. Some guys just just have they look better 232 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: in different uniforms. He didn't look right with the a's, 233 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 2: but he looks like a. He looks like a masher 234 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: with the Reds. But I also loved him in pinstripes. 235 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite all time Yanks. In one 236 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: of these days, and I'm thinking it might be the 237 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: day after Thanksgiving, I'm gonna do like a countdown of 238 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: my favorite Yankees ever. And it's not gonna be like 239 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 2: the greatest Yankees ever, because like, I didn't get to 240 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: see Babe Ruth play, so he's like not on my list. 241 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: But Miguelan do is I think gonna be near my 242 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: top ten because I loved watching that guy play. Anyway, 243 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on Mickey and Duhar being a 244 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: potential fit for the Yanks? 245 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 3: So who else is on that list? Is that Joey Varto, Carlovano, 246 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: Aaron Hicks? 247 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: Like? 248 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: Who else is? Is that what the top ten looks like? 249 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: You know, you know Shane Spencer was not with the 250 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: Yankees for very long, but he's definitely on the list. 251 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: I think, you know, Darryl Strawberry not like a Yankees legend, 252 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: but he's definitely on the list. But I don't Robbi, 253 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 2: I would not put on the list as as one 254 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: of my favorites, but I did. I what's funny is 255 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 2: I've told this story before. I say that I've missed 256 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: maybe a handful of Yankee games since probably ninety two. 257 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: I'm probably exaggerating a little bit. I might miss like 258 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: for for many years. I might have missed one or 259 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: two a season, But for the most part, I've watched 260 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: every Yankee game since I'd say I'd say the the 261 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: late nineties at least. You know, if I don't watch 262 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: it live, I catch it on player or whatever. One 263 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: of the games I never saw in its entirety, and 264 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: I've only seen the highlights. Was Irabu's debut, Remember he 265 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: was all hyped. He comes over and he lights up 266 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: New York. It was against the Tigers. He went I 267 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: believe six and two thirds two earned runs. I think 268 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: he had nine strikeouts. He had already gotten the key 269 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: to the city. It was in July of ninety seven, 270 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 2: and then after that he's stunk. I think he went 271 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: five and four with a seven point oh something e 272 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: er that year. He was better in ninety eight. He 273 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: won a Picture of the Month in May of that year. 274 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: But I don't know how we got all on this, 275 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 2: Arabu rant, I'm blaming you, but I'll just. 276 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 3: Say this, I would like to have him back. He 277 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 3: seems like he's stuffed up his game. I mean, the 278 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 3: problem with the Yankees was that he was always hurt. Yeah, 279 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 3: so I'm hoping it looks like hopefully, it looks like 280 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 3: he's gotten rid of that. He's no longer. I mean, 281 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 3: I guess there's a guy ever stopping injury prone. But 282 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: as long as he's healthy, I'd love to have him back. 283 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: It seems like he really found his way with the reds, 284 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 3: although I will say it's ironic that you say, oh, 285 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 3: he looks good in red when you're wearing red here. 286 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: So of course you were hyping up your guy here, 287 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 3: your favorite color. But yeah, I would like to have 288 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: into our back up, you know, when I get something 289 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 3: new to the team. 290 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 2: I like to wear red when I'm on the show 291 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: because there's a lot of blue. Right, there's a lot 292 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 2: of blue in here, and it's like a nice little contrast. 293 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: You know, it pops a little bit. I got the 294 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: red on the microphone here. But all right, Devin Williams, 295 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: we got to talk about it. So the other day, 296 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: I will we do have to, unfortunately, because it is 297 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: my show, and I picked the topics, and I know 298 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: this stresses you out, Frankie. So the other day I 299 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: was driving home from work and I saw the NJ 300 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 2: dot com article quoting Ken Rosenthal and Will Salmon. I 301 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: saw a couple of comments about how it's a forty 302 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: five million dollar deal that they're talking about, and then 303 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: about a half an hour later, Rosenthal is on Foul 304 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: Territory making me look bad, saying, well, I don't think 305 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. Do you think this is gonna happen. 306 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: Do you think Devin Williams is coming back to the 307 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they just got rid of a bunch of 308 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: really pictures. What do you think is gonna happen? Here? 309 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: By the way, for the people listening, Devin Williams four 310 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: and six record out of the pen, positively counter productive, 311 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: negative zero point three war, sixty two innings, ninety strikeouts, 312 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: So the strikeout stuff was there adjustment period. Maybe Edwin 313 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: Diaz like performance where you have struggle in the first 314 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: year with New York but then puts it together. Daz 315 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: is the guy I want, though I would have no 316 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: problem signing Devin Williams if you also get Daz. But 317 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: paying fifteen million a year for a middle relief pitcher 318 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: when you're spreading the salary as thin as you are 319 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: right now, it seems like a tough move. 320 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: Look, the Yankees love their analytics. They're the big No 321 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: one loves the analytics warn the Yankees. Also, no one 322 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: uses their analytics worse than the Yankees. But you want Yankees. 323 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: If you're watching this right now, and I know you are, 324 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: take a look at that on the right side of 325 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 3: the screen. Negative point zero three war. When a guy 326 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: has a negative next to his war. You stay far 327 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: far away from them. What would make them think that 328 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 3: they would want to bring this guy back? And you 329 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: know what, I do believe the Yankees want because the 330 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: Yankees want to torture us for some reason. They he's 331 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: loved to torture their fans by bringing back all the 332 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: people here. Let's stick Bulty and Short, let's give Grisham 333 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: an oppern and not get Tucker. Let's bring back Devin Williams. 334 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 3: They love to torture their fans, and this is another 335 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: reason of it. No, no, no, there's no reason to 336 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 3: bring him back. It should not happen. Only if you're 337 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: thinking like a one year deal, like a million dollars. 338 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: But no, I don't even know what the minimum is. 339 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 3: But no, no, there's no reason. I don't care what 340 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: he did. He was better than a second half. I 341 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: don't care. He was overall net negative, and just for 342 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 3: our mental health sake, he should not be back. But 343 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 3: it's the Yankees, So of course let's think about bringing 344 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 3: him back. Why not, Let's give it another chance, because 345 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: you know it can't go wrong again. 346 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: Well, I will say this for Devin Williams. He did 347 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 2: pitch a little bit better down the stretch, and I 348 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: felt more comfortable with him in the middle relief role. 349 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: So if you're counting on him for middle relief, I 350 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: got no problem bringing him back. But I still think 351 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: fifteen million is way too expensive, and I think that 352 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: he's only going to bring us more pain and suffering. 353 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: I'll talk about Brian Cashman here, all right. So here's 354 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman's comments on Japanese stars and how the Yankees 355 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: are affected by not getting the business from Japanese stars. 356 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: He says, I have nothing to do with our business side, 357 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: so I can't really speak to that. There is a 358 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: belief we're understanding that. Obviously it opens up different businesses, marketing, signage, 359 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: what have you, but that's not my area. If I 360 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: do a good job on the baseball side, then everybody 361 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 2: else in the company can capitalize on whatever comes their way. 362 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 2: Our ticket director sells more tickets, the s network can 363 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: have higher ratings, and the signage price tax can go higher, 364 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: I guess. But ultimately, if there's a quality player and 365 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 2: he's from Japan, yeah, I'm all in. And we've missed 366 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: not for a lack of effort or money on a 367 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 2: number of guys coming from Japan because they preferred the 368 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: West Coast. They preferred the Dodgers specifically. I think Otani 369 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: has been a great lure as well as the West Coast. 370 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: So I want to frame it this way. When the 371 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 2: Yankees had all that success over all those decades, they 372 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: became a huge worldwide brand, and so guys like Irabu, 373 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 2: the aforementioned legendary Hideki Irabu, uh and and uh you know, 374 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: uh Hideki Matsui and you know Masihir Tanaka, they wanted 375 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: to be Yankees. That was the premier club. Has the 376 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: Dodgers and what they've done with Shoheotani and now Yamamoto 377 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 2: become I mean, well Yamamoto did in the put in 378 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: the World Series. Just I mean, Frankie, Frankie, we got it. 379 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 2: We got to give that man his respect. I mean, 380 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like it. I think that they 381 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: may have completely swung the Dodgers as the national American 382 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: baseball team in Japan. 383 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, No, that is absolutely true. I mean, there 384 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 3: isn't the way here in America right now, like the 385 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 3: team that everyone wants to talk about, the cool team, 386 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: the team that everyone loves to hate is the Dodgers, 387 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 3: and that's unfair because that used to be us. Back 388 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 3: in the nineties thousands. Everyone hated I mean, people still 389 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: hate us, but it's not the same. It doesn't feel 390 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 3: the same when we're not winning as much. When we 391 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 3: were winning, of course everyone despised us. But when you 392 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 3: haven't won in sixteen years and among you see this 393 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: among and I guess Japanese players feels for the same way. 394 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 3: Among young people, they don't care that, oh, twenty seven titles. 395 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 3: It's like, okay, anything recently, Like when you haven't won 396 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 3: in sixteen years the war where stuff, No one cares 397 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 3: about twenty seven titles when you haven't won anything recently. 398 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 3: Like think about the NFL. The Cowboys have what five 399 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 3: super Bowls? No one cares because they haven't won in 400 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 3: thirty years. And when you start talking too much about 401 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: your past and it's not about what you're doing now, 402 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: it affects you. So yes, I absolutely believe that it 403 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 3: has become the place. And I mean Yankee should still 404 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 3: try and go out there and spend money on these 405 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: guys if they can. But as long as the Dodgers 406 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 3: are the eight team, and as long as they've built 407 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 3: all the success with all of these guys, They're going 408 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: to continue to be the one that everybody wants to 409 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 3: go to. And that's the only way we can change 410 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: it is if we go out there and win some 411 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: titles of our own and we become the eight team. 412 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: But right now, it doesn't seem like that's the case. 413 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 3: Right now, it's way too early to decide. But forget 414 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 3: you know why. It seems like the Dodgers are in 415 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: the driver's seat. Four third World championship in a row, 416 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 3: and I hate see because I don't want to se 417 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 3: anyone to do it since the Yankees. But right now 418 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 3: it'll be very difficult to see anyone knock them off 419 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: the mountain. 420 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: I wonder if the Yankees will differ some contracts this winter. 421 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: I wonder if they're going to get into that business. 422 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: That's something that could maybe change a few things here there. Okay, 423 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: so we do have it looks like six voicemails to 424 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: get to. But first I gotta thank the sponsors.

This is from mister Farrell. Uh. 449 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: He was talking about Japanese players and he says the 450 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: Dodgers have signed two players from Japan, only two. So 451 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: you can't sign Japanese players because they prefer the Dodgers 452 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 2: is nonsense. And first of all, you got to get 453 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 2: your facts right. They got three, they got, you're forgetting Okay, 454 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 2: so you got a Tani, you got Yamamoto. But also 455 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: Roki Sazaki looks pretty damn good, and he was pretty 456 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: damn big for them in the postseason, coming in and 457 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 2: pitching in relief, and and he looked really good. And 458 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: there's rumors that they're interested in Murakami. Uh so that 459 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: could be another one. Uh So, I mean, we'll see 460 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: how that shakes out. Let's get to a couple of 461 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 2: voicemails here here. This one's from the Dr Frankie, I 462 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: want to see if you can weigh in on this. 463 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 4: Hi, Derek rel from the R And let's just forom 464 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 4: last second, we gotta have Talker plus some trade acids 465 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 4: I'm on the team, or Bellinger plus you might or 466 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 4: O komotive I can think. 467 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 2: So the question is Tucker I didn't get the second part, 468 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: or Bellinger plus like Yamamoto. I think it might be 469 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: like Tucker, And do you say a trade I don't 470 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 2: I couldn't tell what he said there, but I mean 471 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: I think Bellinger and and yeah, and Bellinger and uh 472 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: one of the pitchers Emi. 473 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: Maybe. 474 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: If he said down LOADO. I don't think he said that, 475 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: but he now yeah, everyone. 476 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: I got the Dodgers on the mine. Yeah, em yeah, 477 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 2: I agree. Here's Hugh. 478 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 7: Good evening, Derek. I have an idea for a show. 479 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 7: How about a show on the legacy of how Steinbrenner. Oh, yeah, 480 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 7: I see, might be a little short, huh and a 481 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 7: nice evening. 482 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't really want to talk about hal Steinbrenner 483 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: until his career is over, because I don't think a 484 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: legacy is built until someone completes it. Right if if 485 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: he wins five championships in the next seven years as 486 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: the owner and then sells the team, that changes his legacy. 487 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: I think a legacy is written when the person's career 488 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: in that in that arena is done. Do you agree? 489 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: I agree, And I'll use a Yankee example. What would 490 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 3: George simon ER's legacy have been after he got thrown 491 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: out a baseball and was that eighty nine to ninety 492 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 3: What would his legacy have been like a disgrace, like 493 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 3: embarrassed the Yankees, like he ruined this great franchise. But 494 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 3: then what happens. He went out for baseball for a while, 495 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: then he came back in. They have a couple of guys, 496 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: make some good moves, and all of a sudden he 497 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: wins five more championships, and all of a sudden he's 498 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: got amongk Jackie fans again, and it's still clamored for 499 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 3: to this day. So yeah, I agree with you there. 500 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: Did you realize on how you Tomorrow? I think is 501 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: the first time he's gonna speak to reporters tomorrow. It's 502 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: the first time he's spoken since February. I'm come on 503 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 3: as an owner, the first. 504 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 2: Time he spoke into reporters, So the first time he's 505 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: spoken in general since February? Has he been just on 506 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: a silent retreat like a like a like in those 507 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 2: Buddhist monk temples where they just stay silent in meditation 508 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 2: and hopefully deeply reflecting on the results of the audit 509 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: from last year. Here's MJ. 510 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek, MJ, give him you a call again. 511 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 9: Listen man, three years forty five. 512 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 10: Million for Devin Williams. 513 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 8: I hear what you're saying, Okay, but here's the thing 514 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 8: about MLB now, right, it's almost like the NBA. How 515 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 8: it changed from you have two or three really good 516 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 8: guys Jordan Pippen, I don't know, Horace Grant to give 517 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 8: rebounds and maybe another, you know, point guard to someone. 518 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 8: Now the NBA you. 519 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 9: Got ten guys. You know, you got these super teams. 520 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 9: You almost got two starting five uh at you know 521 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 9: at the top end of the NBA. Right, So here's 522 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 9: the point. You know, he doesn't have to be your closer, right, 523 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 9: If he's not your closer, he's still a good They're 524 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 9: looking at the overall and this is just me again. 525 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 9: I can't stand cash and he needs to go, all right, 526 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 9: And I don't advocate for a man losing his job. 527 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 8: I'm just saying he's not. 528 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 9: I don't like I'm of Brian cashman guy. But if 529 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 9: you look at the big picture, Devin Williams, for more 530 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 9: years than not, he's been a really good pitcher and 531 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 9: it really good. 532 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: Okay, So I think that he's trying to say that 533 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 2: last year was the outlier, and maybe that's what the 534 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 2: Yankees are looking at. But still that outlier took years 535 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: and years, perhaps decades off of our lives, Frankie, do 536 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 2: you agree with his NBA stuff. I haven't really thought 537 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 2: much about the NBA in a while. 538 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: No, Actually that actually makes sense about you know, super 539 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: teams and you need a couple of superstars. Now. When 540 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 3: he was starting with the nineties bulls, I was like, 541 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 3: please don't compare to the nineties bulls. We are if anything, 542 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 3: the Dodgers are the nineties Bulls. Please don't. But when 543 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: he was talking about We've mentioned this before, the expectation 544 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 3: that you're the person that you're hoping that he emulates 545 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: is m Win Diaz, who had a terrible first year 546 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 3: with the Mets and then eventually bounced back. They they 547 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: were able to you know, pitching coach helped him out, 548 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 3: and he became this great closer for the Mets. That's 549 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 3: what you're hoping for. But I don't want to make 550 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 3: that risk. I don't want to have another year again 551 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 3: when the like the Mets weren't in any chip tip window. 552 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 3: We're in a chabuy tip window, and I don't want 553 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: to risk it on another year. Well maybe Doublings will 554 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 3: figure it out with a guy, it's just not I 555 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 3: don't want to take that risk. So I'd much rather 556 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 3: just send him away. I've been Narcoles and let's figure 557 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 3: it out from there. 558 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 2: Okay, we got one. This one is correcting me on something. 559 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek, I believe this venomous snakes. 560 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 10: He's not poisonous. 561 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 8: Also, what are your thoughts. 562 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 10: On free agent Ruie but Tyler Rodgers? 563 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 1: Thank you. 564 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 2: I'm in favor of any relievers that don't suck. Look, 565 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: I don't know a lot about Tyler Rogers, but I 566 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: do know he has a twin. And I do know 567 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: that twin like having two of the exact same person. 568 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 2: I find that extraordinarily freaky. But anyway, thanks for correcting 569 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 2: me on on my entomology of snake poisonous versus venomous whatever. 570 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 3: Snake's territory. 571 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: Right here we go. 572 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 5: From Florida.

If you bring back Devin Williams 605 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 10: at fifteen million dollars a year and then the end 606 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 10: up trading Domingas without even getting my legitimate chance.
